Hello
2016-ers!
Whew! We’re close to the end of your sophomore
year. I know that I don’t need to nag
you about pacing yourselves and your schedules to have a sane and healthy exam
period. I am sure that you will drag out
your calendars, look up all of your exams, papers, presentation and portfolio
deadlines, work backwards from the dates, plot in your study hours, healthy
meals and sufficient sleep to get you through this challenging period, right? Right!
What I
would like to discuss with you is your upcoming summer. A number of you are beginning to contemplate
majors, internships, Study Abroad, etc., for the coming year. This may the last ‘free’ summer vacation that
many of you will have the pleasure of enjoying.
I recognize that you may have summer jobs and other obligations, but
compare to your schedule during the last few weeks of the school year at
Trinity, your summer work schedule will probably be a piece of cake!

Dear Class
of 2016:
Well, this
is it! You’re finishing your sophomore
year at Trinity, and my wife and I are moving!
I regret that I won’t be able to complete a four-year tenure with you,
but as often happens in life our plans have dramatically changed despite our
best intentions.
When you
first arrived at school, I shared some guidelines from my own experience that I
thought might be helpful to you in charting a path through Trinity and
beyond. Following is a brief synopsis of
my advice to you: more>>

Don’t
Just Say “Goodbye” for the Summer!
Summer break is right around the corner!
Summer can provide a welcomed respite from the rigors of Trinity life
and offer a time to renew relationships with family and high school friends. It can also put a strain on your Trinity
relationships, however. Whether platonic
or romantic, your Trinity relationships deserve some nurturing over the summer
so that they maintain connectedness and momentum. more>>
ATTENTION: Submit required proof of
Health Insurance if returning in the fall.
In the past, you have been required to provide proof of
health insurance in April prior to registering for fall classes. This
requirement is no longer tied to registration. However,
students are still required to have health insurance and provide proof of the
coverage annually through an online waiver, available
now.
If
the waiver is not completed by July 1, the premium for the student health
insurance plan will be included on your electronic bill for the fall semester.
If you do not want that insurance you will have several weeks to provide proof
of other insurance and have that charge removed from your bill. Students who do
not do so will automatically be enrolled in the student health insurance plan,
after which the premium will not be refundable.
